Book Reviews of Dangerous Liaisons (Penguin Classics)
Book Review: A literal giant
Summary: 5 Stars
The book is based on letters. It's so authentic that you forget the manner in which the words differ from our present time and you forget it was set on a different era. This book is truly a literary giant
Summary of Dangerous Liaisons (Penguin Classics)
A new translation of one of the most notorious novels of all timePublished just years before the French Revolution, Laclos's great novel of moral and emotional depravity is a disturbing and ultimately damning portrayal of a decadent society. Aristocrats and ex-lovers Marquise de Merteuil and Vicomte de Valmont embark on a sophisticated game of seduction and manipulation to bring amusement to their jaded lives. While Merteuil challenges Valmont to seduce an innocent convent girl, he is also occupied with the conquest of a virtuous married woman. Eventually their human pawns respond, and the consequences prove to be more serious-and deadly-than the players could have ever predicted.
